What are some full industrial bands?

NIN
Pigface
Ministry
KMFDM
Rammstein
Throbbing Gristle

Ah. Interesting. What does Stabbing Westward have in common with those bands that it doesn't have with Nu-Metal bands? I feel like they're removed from this list by at least two degrees.

Industrial is more up tempo with a lot of electronics thrown in. And its more theatrical. And has 100% more flame throwers.

Forgot about that Adema song. That’s a good one. That Crazy Town track!

Team “SOAD is numetal” wins!

I do think we actually have potential for a good tournament here.

After further consideration, I don't know what I was thinking saying Slipknot wasn't Nu Metal. They absolutely were.

It’s basically just metal with elements of hip-hop and melodic hooks/choruses.

That Trapt song was lit too.

Let’s have a tournament or draft teams or something. I’m gonna be wigging out on this stuff for the next few days.

Idk this band very thoroughly, but goddamn I love most of these singles.

Basically yes, but there are also certain musical elements that I recognize as very characteristically nu-metal. Certain guitar tones, certain riff progressions, that stupid rattly bass sound that was everywhere for a while thanks to KoRn, lyrics that tend to look inward (big reason why I don't really perceive bands like SOAD and RATM as nu-metal, though I'm not super familiar with either)

Jorge · **Posted:** Wed June 20, 2018 4:27 am

And that gloomy vibe. That Hot Topic vibe. That almost Juggalistic vibe.

Probably Around the Fur by Deftones

Those are all great observations, but maybe more aptly thought of as well-worn features within the genre but not necessarily requirements of an easily recognizable nu-metal song. Inward lyrics is hilariously accurate, especially for the more popular songs, but I think there is plenty of cultural commentary on the DEEP KUTZ of these bands.

I swear I almost mentioned ICP and Eminem but I think we are beginning to stretch the musical boundaries a little thin.
